Northwest Pilot Project is hosting a housing forum for the community that supports better understanding of the trends and needed actions related to housing, homelessness, and services for older adults.

Keynote speaker Marisa Espinoza — Policy Analyst at UCSF’s Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative — will discuss findings from the recently-released report Toward Dignity: Understanding Older Adult Homelessness. A panel moderated by Dr. Michael Parkhurst will follow, focused on aging, health, housing and homelessness; panelists include faculty from PSU’s Institute on Aging (Dr. Paula Carder) and Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative (Dr. Marisa Zapata) and Oregon’s Center of Excellence in Behavioral Health & Aging housed at OHSU/PSU (Dr. Walt Dawson), as well as experts from Northwest Pilot Project and UCSF (Yoni Kahn and Marisa Espinoza).

This free hybrid event is capped at 75 in-person tickets (PSU’s Urban Center, light refreshments) and includes a Zoom webinar option for anyone interested in attending virtually.
